Pros

50% off products (which does not apply to everyone) and on-site parking

Cons

All those common negative reviews of this company? Listen to them because they are all true with no exaggeration! The work culture is so old-fashioned it's shocking! Want to travel back in time? Work for Vitabiotics are you'll be back in the 50s! Leadership? Not even management, it's pretty much dictatorship where micromanagement is at its perfection. Work-life balance is a laughable concept here as well as regard for your mental health or physical health even when your medical needs are clearly communicated, not to mention witnessed. They can't wrap their brain around working from home which means they are extremely strict about it leaving absolutely no room for common sense. Want to have a Big Brother experience? Well, you'll find the perfect opportunity at Vitabiotics where there will be constant surveillance to the point that the way you sit at your desk is more important than the work you do. Leaving your desk for more than 10 minutes at a time (which is very much needed for your health in a desk job) gets you in so much trouble. The hypocrisy and double standards from leadership as well as HR is unreal, fostering an environment where bullying thrives! There is no such thing as rules apply to everyone, the rules are made to apply to certain people and change according to the manager's mood and poor judgment not to mention 0 common sense (I've got some pretty shocking stories). Tej loves to preach about mental health on social platforms yet he has no issue overlooking the toxic culture within his own company, what a sick joke! There is no appreciation for the work you do, no importance placed on the quality of your work. What they value is the appearance of working like a robot, always sitting at your desk with minimal interaction between colleagues unless it's work-related, and being dressed in a certain way (very corporate and conservative). It doesn't surprise me that this company is so behind with the times when the majority of their employees are over a certain age, younger people are a very small minority which says a lot, no one that has an even slightly more modern mindset will stay there, that is if they will even accept to work there in the first place. Also, if you are not like-minded with them, you won't last very long as they will fire you for the most ridiculous reasons regardless of how good you are at your job, as I said, that is not something they value very much. Basically, you either take the bullying and the toxicity or you're out!

Pros

I’ve been with the company for over six years, and it’s been an incredible journey. From day one, I’ve felt supported and encouraged to grow both professionally and personally. One of the best parts of working here is the people. I’ve built lasting friendships that have made my time here truly special.

Cons

Every company has its challenges, and this one is no different. At times, the workload can get intense during busy periods, and internal communication/ approval process could be a bit smoother but those are minor trade-offs.
